(Jade's P.O.V)
We all went back to my place a few hours later and Colt went up to guest room since he was tired but he seemed upset. His voice cracked slightly when he said he was going upstairs and his eyes were watering.
"I'm going to check on Colt. I'll be back." I pecked Sammy's lips and walked upstairs.
I knocked on the guest bedroom door.
"Come in." Colt said, his voice shaky.
I walked in and he was wiping his eyes. He's been crying. I rushed to him and sat next to him and placed both my hands on his cheeks.
"Colt, what's wrong?" I asked and he shook his head.
"Nothing. I'm fine." He replied.
"You're crying. There's obviously something wrong. You can tell me. I won't tell anyone."
I said.
"H-he was abusive." Colt said.
"Who? Your dad?" I asked and he nodded.
"He would alway beat my mom, me, and even Olivia sometimes. He didn't beat her as much as he did me or my mom, but he'd still hit her sometimes. I lived like that until I moved out last year. The judge made me live with my dad cause he thought my dad had stopped beating us. When I moved out, he beat me before I did and I called the police and told them and he went to jail. I don't know how long he'll be there though." Colt said.
He continued telling me about how abusive his father was and he told me how he'd have nightmares of it and he sometimes still does and how he had depression and still slightly does. He said he tried to commit suicide a couple times, but then he thought of his mom and his sister she realized he couldn't leave them here alone with his dad. He also told me that he never had friends growing up and his people bullied him. This kids life was horrible.
"Please don't judge me or make fun of me for this, but I used to cut myself from it. Things were just so bad. " Colt said as he lifted up his sleeves.
My heart ached for Colt. I pulled my bracelets up and lifted my shirt up and showed Colt all of my scars.
"I used to too. You're not alone. I would never make fun of you for anything. I used to be anorexic too. I'm not anymore but I still can't and don't eat properly." I replied.
"I'm sorry for bombarding you with all of this stuff." Colt apologized and he looked down.
"Hey," I placed two fingers under his chin and lifted his head up so he was looking at me. "Don't ever apologize for your feelings or telling me something. I'm always here to listen. I've been through hell and back so I'm always here to talk. I'd stay up until 6 am talking to you about everything and anything if I had to. I'm always here for you. It doesn't matter that we just met, I'm here." Colt hugged me tightly and buried his head in my shoulder.
"Thank you. Thank you so much Jade." Colt cried.
"You're welcome Colt. Don't cry, it's okay now. No ones going to hurt you anymore. We're a really protective group. We protect each other. We're a family." I said.
Colt pulled away from me and wiped his eyes and smiled.
"Thank you. Shall we go downstairs now?" I asked.
"You go ahead. I'll be down in a few." Colt said and I nodded.
I walked downstairs and sat back down on Sammy's lap.
"Is everything okay? His eyes are red." Sammy said in my ear.
"Yeah. He's fine." I half smiled.
(Colt's P.O.V)
When Jade left the room, I collapsed on to the bed. I'm glad I was able to talk to her, but I feel horrible for opening up to her and telling her some infamy problems. I shouldn't have opened up to her. I always get screwed over whenever I open up to someone. I don't think Jade would do anything to hurt me, but I'm scared. I don't want to get hurt again. I've been abused, cheated on, played, etc.
I'm glad I finally have friends. It feels really good. I just met these people yesterday, but from what I'm getting from Jade is that I saved her from being raped and so everyone is thankful for me since I was there. I'm glad I was there too. No one deserves to get treated like that. Especially Jade. She's so amazing and downright gorgeous. Don't worry, I won't try to go after her. She has a boyfriend so I'm going to respect that. I'm pretty sure everyone has a crush on her except the girls. I don't like her like that as much as you guys probably think I do. I'd rather us be close and best friends than a couple. I can be friends with a girl without trying to get with her every 5 seconds.
(Sammy's P.O.V)
Colt came downstairs and his eyes were red and a little puffy. He's obviously been crying. I wonder what happened? Jade said that everything was fine so he probably doesn't want anyone to know which is perfectly okay. Some things are better left unsaid. I still wonder why he was crying, but it's none of my business to ask him about it so I won't.
He seems nice and caring. He also doesn't seem like a girlfriend stealer but I just met this guy last night so I'm not sure. Everyone knows that I won't let anyone steal my girl from me. I'm super protective of Jade and sometimes it shows and other times I try to hide it for the benefit of her. I don't want to seem like Taylor.
Speaking of Taylor, it kind of makes me nervous that they're friends since he's Jade's ex boyfriend, but I don't want to tell her who she can and can't be friends with. I don't want to be that controlling boyfriend who tells her what to do and watches her every move and makes sure she doesn't go anywhere without me. I believe that people need freedom in a relationship. You shouldn't hold someone down and control them. They'll start sneaking behind your back so that they can do stuff and that's not healthy for a relationship. Jade deserves just as much freedom as I do. I love her too much to let her go too so I'd do anything to have her stay.
I still hate how Jade and Taylor are friends. Taylor isn't a really nice person. He's screwed Jade over one too many times and I don't like him for that. I'm trying to get used to it for Jade, but it's seriously difficult. I don't think anyone understands how hard this is for me. Taylor doesn't deserve her friendship at all. I can't talk to Jade about this because I don't want to put any pressure on her, or make her feel bad, or make her mad or upset. I hate what he did to her. She didn't deserve any of that, but she kept going right back to him. It serially angers me just thinking about it. I think I need to go for a walk or something.
(Jade's P.O.V)
Sammy's grip around my waist got slightly tighter. It startled me.
"I'm going for a walk." He whispered in my ear.
I got up and he stood up, grabbed his phone from the table, then left without saying a word. He's upset about something. I just know he is. His tone was different and he left without saying anything to me which he would usually never do. I know my Sammy, I know when he's upset, excited, angry, and even happy. I've known him for so long so I know mostly everything about him so I know he wouldn't leave without saying anything to me.
"What's wrong with him?" Colt whispered to me and I shrugged.
Did I do something? I probably did something to upset him. Was it because I was with Colt earlier? No, Sammy wouldn't get upset over that. He's not controlling. What in the world is wrong with him? I want to go chase after him but maybe a walk alone could help him cool down.
